What is the make of the Film SLR?  If you buy a DSLR with the same company then the lenses you have for the film SLR will work on the DSLR you would be buying.  For example Canon SLR lenses (EF) will work on Canon DSLR's (both the full frame and the cropped - EF/EF-S).

Assuming the Sigma lens has a Minolta fit then it won't work on Olympus DSLR and you will have to buy new lenses.  If you wanted to keep your lenses I believe you would of had to have bought a Sony DSLR as they bought the camera division of Konica Minolta.
